Hi @Ilkhom-S, I can't reproduce it locally. Can you provide the complete log? You can attach the log file on this issue.

Hi @Ilkhom-S, thanks for reporting this issue,
I think it's a cmake bug, see here.

The solution is to modify VCPKG_PATH/scripts/vcpkgTools.xml to change the cmake version to below 3.14.0, or use the workaround in cmake issue.

Here is my vcpkgTools.xml:
Line 3-9

    <tool name="cmake" os="windows">
        <version>3.13.4</version>
        <exeRelativePath>cmake-3.13.4-win32-x86\bin\cmake.exe</exeRelativePath>

Hello @JackBoosY ,
Thanks for helping. After downgrading version to 3.13.4 , it works.
